No it wasn't...but one gets tired of the bollox about 'real' crimes etc...
Like the law is something you can pick and choose your preferences....
There are those people who think litter laws aren't real laws...and therefore drop litter.....
Speeding is a crime. We all do it. Fact. If we're caught, we're caught. You could always have the other 900,000 previous crimes taken into consideration....
Like I always say...if you do it and get away with it - Great. If you do it and get caught - Hard Cheese...
I'm in the same boat as you...

Anyway, it was a bad driving error by Langley, aggravated by a wholly inappropriate manner afterwards to the HGV driver. My main concern was that this was apparently presented on TV with no indication that Langley could have been in the wrong.

I assume that it would be at the point that the junction signs start saying which lane to be in for different exits, around the 1/2 mile mark.
I don't know of any junctions like that though, roundabouts on motorways are very rare if indeed there are any.
All the junctions I can think of come from two lanes out into the junction of upto 5 lanes (I think 5 is the most i've seen).
